 | An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination: A Memoir (Roughcut) by Elizabeth McCracken
Buy new: $13.59 / Used from: $4.45 A lot of books on this topic are written from a very Christian perspective and this ISNT one of them...it is an autobiographical book written from what I would describe as a "worldly" perspective. The author was an author prior to her loss and her writing skills are wonderful.
If you are looking for a great book without watercolor paintings of butterflies or sappy religious poems, this is it.
